Nixie | Updated & Enhanced Intro
The last two months were spent overhauling the game's introduction. This included rewriting/re-recording the introductory cutscene, creating a brand new more versatile dialogue system, adding some additional scenes, and also the creation of a brand new introductory tutorial area. I will probably continue to polish and add more art to the intro, but this is generally what the finished product will likely end up being.

      so "player" here . so what happened, for context I was at low health when I got hit by the laser and got my 's'. I then regrabed the ladder while still in the laser I then lost the 's' taking damage again, killing me. Boom crash to desktop. it was a weird set of events I know I had mostly cleared section 1. I might have missed 1 or 2 powerups in that area. I do remember entering that room from above since I skipped that room on my climb to the upper room (there 2 paths). If you want to ask anything go ahead, ill try to remember.

    Ahh yes, the Hershey of my day. I loved taking my kids here every year in the 80's and 90's and in later years my grandkids. Back then it was quiet and not very crowded. Spotless clean. Eventually it became too much and I stopped entering the park but still visited Chocolate world and Tudor square ( the original entrance way/area to the park). Now with even that gone it's even more sad. I still go to Chocolate World with my wife now and then but only in the off season because the crowds are overwhelming. I know for park enthusiasts the progress is a good thing, but for this nostalgic old man It's sad. I miss it. Thanks for posting this 😊

    Looks great! My only suggestion would be for a way for the player to see how much damage is being done to the boss, such as a health bar or cracks and damage appearing or bits falling off the boss. I always get more motivated to fight hard to the finish, if I can work out how much longer I need to battle for.

    @vogonp4287 Рік тому

    Godot is honestly not too hard to figure out. You can use C# too. Though, the built in GDscript is very easy to handle as well. Godot is very minimalistic too. Things are separated into different node variations, which can have child nodes. Even if you don’t switch, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to experiment with different options.

    I'm glad you're able to continue development in Unity, but I would strongly suggest learning Godot or another game engine after you finish developing Nixie. The same knuckleheads that pushed those awful changes are still in charge at Unity, and I would be surprised if they _don't_ try to pull another fast one at some point in the future.

    That's how mob debt collecting works. Corporations are no different. Steel pipe to the leg then sympathy and a discount on "additional new charges." Retroactively, you can have a busted knee cap and maybe one day pay more. Tony Soprano has entered and left the chat. He has people for that.

  • @tommysedin
    @tommysedin Рік тому

    Sounds like a valid strategy, especially now since they really won't add this retroactively to existing engine versions - they never were going to be able to do that anyway, but at least there's no stress inducing period while the legal battles are fought... A tip from a software developer; It's really good for the development of your personal skills to check out other engines - or heck, even lower level game libraries/frameworks (like MonoGame or similar). Make a couple of tiny "vertical-slice" projects in each. It's really easy to get stuck thinking in certain ways, using different tools can open you up to thinking of new ways to use your existing tools.

  • @CosplayZine
    @CosplayZine Рік тому

    I'd say you'll be fine to stick it out because as you said unity won't be able to actually do this without even more backlash. My game is 3d and I've spent a few years learning unity and blender. But what's worse is I am financially invested in assets for my game and even games that I decided not to do yet but had purchased assets for. Some of these assets costing serval hundred dollars including visual based scripting assets that have addons to allow a solo dev like me not to have to build everything that it requires to make a larger project. So I would wait and see what unity has planned but shop around to godot in your free time and perhaps use chat gpt to compare the process of what you're already doing and see how hard the transition would be if worse comes to worse. Nice to hear your take on the situation and I just subscribed. Goodluck!

    I think that even if Unity backtracks on the monetization policy, it won't change a thing as the trust have been broken already. Not to mention that we are talking about B2B relationship here, where trust is of utmost importance as you have to be to able to reliably predict 5-10 years into the future (the development time-span).

    the wrighting was on the wall months in advance, for the people that knew, i knew way ahead of time that the new ceo was scum and would try to do shady s**t. its unfortunate, but as a community im sure we will support you IF you transition to a new engine. too note they changed it so it has to reach both the profit and the amount of installs ((and said they removed even the re-install's)). but that still doesn't help there case.

    Retroactive. That's bad. Should be illegal. You can't unilaterally change a contract, that's the entire purpose of the contract. To prove what the deal is and to prevent changes. If I had stock in unity I'd be sueing the board for several things, including insider trading.

  • @gfnekro

    If after the fiasco of this lasts days you continue trusting Unity and the scumbag CEO John Riccitiello, then you should not be surprised when they try to screw you again. And as long as JR continue being the CEO, I'm pretty sure they'll do it again. And again. And again. What assures you that they would not change again the price and charge you $2 instead of $0.2? I don't trust them since last year, when JR said some colorful comments about game designer that don't think in monetization. And you asked how they will track every installation? I think the people from IronSource have the answer! What do you think they were developing since Unity bought them almost 10 months ago? The only secure way is open source like Godot. Every other engine is tied to the greedy corporations that only want to push their agendas (like monetization) and make money no matter what (or who).

    Time to ditch Unity into the trashbin where it belongs and move to something else. Communities exist. Crow-tank this affair and something will pop out. Also, don't forget to bash Unity's CEOs, the biggest issue is people thinking that the problem is the brand when in reality, it's actually just one a$$hole who needs too be ousted. If enough rally against the trash, the trash gets taken out.
